Description: | A complete lead-alloy pilgrim's ampulla, dating from the later Medieval period. Dated c.1300-1500.The vessel is the classic minature phial shape with a circular body which extends upwards into a slightly flared neck. The two sides of the neck are pinched together. Projecting from either side of the ampulla at the junction between the neck and the body, there are two triangular lug handles. One face of the ampulla is decorated with a stylized scallop shell formed of raised lines radiating out from a central pellet. The other face of the ampulla has a simple raised sub-square shape outline which is not readily identifiable as a letter or an object. Based on such a simple design it is not possible to assign this pilgrim souvenir to a specific shrine or saint.
